(Cheyenne, Wyo.) – The Dubois Volunteers, Inc., won a lottery as one of five Wyoming non-profits to receive a Governor’s Wild Bison License tag. These organizations can sell the tags to benefit their specific missions. The tags are administered by Wyoming Wildlife – the Foundation, which supports many other wildlife conservation groups throughout the state.

Wild bison licenses were available for the first time this year to any Wyoming 501(c)3 organization. Many groups applied to be one of five names randomly drawn for a Wild Bison License in 2014.

“The Governor’s Big Game Licenses are an effective way to raise money for an important cause – wildlife. Each year a coalition meets to review applications and choose conservation projects to fund. That is a good process,” Mead said. “The bison licenses offer a way to benefit groups with other missions. I am glad to give these licenses to support Wyoming.”
